In the Shadows of Cairo

[Verse]
Golden sands beneath my feet
City rhythms skipping a beat
In the markets whispers grow
Where the secrets softly flow
[Verse 2]
Oud strings hum a desert song
Sax and piano play along
Guitar strums beneath the moon
Qanun weaves a mystic tune
[Chorus]
In the shadows of Cairo nights
Dreams take wing in starry lights
Ancient stories come to life
Love and danger twist the knife
[Verse 3]
Echoes of the Pharaohs' reign
Blending notes like gentle rain
Cobblestones and ancient bricks
Time it never plays nice tricks
[Verse 4]
From the Nile's eternal grace
To the dancer's fluttering lace
Music flows in darkened bars
Guiding hearts like blazing stars
[Chorus]
In the shadows of Cairo nights
Dreams take wing in starry lights
Ancient stories come to life
Love and danger twist the knife
